전통적으로 향기(aroma) 치료법은 대체 의학 분야에서뿐만 아니라 정신과 치료에서도 실제로 널리 활용 되었다. 본 연구에서는 일차적으로 odorant-binding protein (OBP) 활성 부위에 대한 스마트 웨이브(SW) 주요 화학적 조성물과 OBP 활성 리간드인 citrate anion 결합 친화도를 비교 분석하였다. SW는 OBP 활성 부위에 대해 citrate anion보다 훨씬 높은 분자 결합 친화도를 나타내었다. 임상적으로 SW혼합 조성물을 후각으로 흡입한 전/후, 뇌파에 어떠한 변화가 유도되는지를 비교 분석하였다. 18명의 피험자들을 대상으로 SW 흡입 전/후 뇌파의 명상(안정감) 변화 지수를, 악취를 내는 음성 대조군(EV)과 파우더향을 발산하는 양성 대조군(HB) 흡입 전/후의 변화 값과 비교하였다. SW를 흡입한 실험군에서는 SW를 흡입하고 난 후 상쾌함을 경험하였다는 반응을 나타냈으며 SW흡입군에서는 EV흡입군과 HB흡입군에 비하여 뇌파의 명상 지수가 현저하게 안정된 값으로 유도되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 EV흡입 이후 SW를 흡입하였을 때 뇌파 명상 지수가 안정 뇌파값 범위로 개선되었다. 결과적으로 SW혼합 조성물은 OBP에 효과적으로 결합하여 OBP를 활성화 시키고, SW 흡입은 뇌파를 효과적으로 통제하여 심리적 상태를 현저하게 안정화 시키는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 SW흡입법은 외부의 스트레스 자극으로부터 뇌 활성을 효율적으로 조절할 수 있는 새로운 향기 치료법으로의 활용이 가능하다고 판단된다.

Background and Objectives: Aroma therapy using Eucalyptus Globulus essential oil for curing allergic rhinitis is an inhalation treatment which has been applied as an aid to oriental clinics which use a fundamental treatment such as acupuncture and herbs. There have been no studies so far performed on the effect of this oils' use, only . We aimed to find out the therapeutic effect of its exclusive use only on an Animal Model with Allergic Rhinitis. Materials and Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats were induced the allergic rhinitis by ovalbumin solution. And then, rats in the treated group were treated by diffusing Eucalyptus essential oil in a flask for 7 days. Compared with the treated group, rats in the control group were treated by diffusing normal saline in a flask for 7 days. We observed changes in glandular cells and mast cells in nasal mucosa and submucosa; also changes in the number of eosinophils and neutrophils in blood and the succus of rhinenchysis. Results: The number of neutrophils in the succus of rhinenchysis was significantly decreased in treated group compared with control group(p<0.05). The number of neutrophils in blood and mast cells in nasal mucosa were decreased in the treated group but, these were not significant statistically(p>0.05). Histologic changes showed edema; congestion and expansion of grandular cells in nasal submucosa and hypertrophy of epithelium in nasal mucosa were decreased in treated group compared with control group. Conclusions: The results may suggest that the inhalation treatment using Eucalyptus essential oil decreases the inflammatory response on an Animal Model with Allergic Rhinitis.
